Spiritual Life

Learning to Walk the Spiritual Path with Practical Feet.... 

 

The Office of Spiritual Life at Westminster College serves as a place where students, faculty and staff can address any  issues of a spiritual nature.  The office creates opportunities for students to explore and grow in their spiritual understanding of the world while relating it to their academic pursuits and future business endeavors.   The office encourages students to gain a better understanding of an integrative model of our physical and spiritual realities through programs and services. 

Students are assisted in connecting to their own Faith community in the Salt Lake City area, as well as helping them increase their understanding about other peoples' Faiths, both on and off campus.  Gaining a better understanding of the interconnectedness of all human beings, societies, cultures and faiths lends to a greater ability to function in the global community of the 21st Century, to be prepared to be global citizens.  Some of the learning opportunities include a faith fair early in the academic year, visits to various faith communities, panel presentations,  study/discussion groups, prayer/meditation/devotional groups, as well as service learning opportunities on the local, national, and international level.  Student inspired projects and programs are encouraged!
